    Scam Report

    Report Type: [Rep Fraud] Impersonation with intent to defraud
    Virtual item type involved: [DOTA2] Dota2 Items

    Accused profile: 76561198141735026

    Victim profile: 76561198085699289

    What happened? Description:
    Middle-Man scam. I pretty much knew from the beginning but played it out to report him. He offered me 60$ WU, bitcoin, or paypal for x2 Kantusa 60$ ea. Asked me to get a "trusted friend" to hold the items. Then he made excuse to leave chat, later re-invited me and my trusted friend. Except when checking profile it wasn't my friend! Who would've gussed. Just his name with ' after it and avatar. I then invited my real friend in chat, accused him of scamming and said I was going to report on steamrep. They both left chat immediately.​

    Provide Evidence:
    Screenshots tell the story. I wasn't scammed, I knew about it but this scum bag needs reported.​

    Too many blocked people to determine 100% the impersonator. This is my first report and I apologize, I definitely should have reported both of them. At least one scumbag down.. Next time I wont make the same mistake.

    Researching to see if any of this information is stored in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam

    Impersonated "trusted friend" (my friend the scammers requested to use as a middleman) http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561197999585510

    The accused (person doing all the talking, initiated the scam, offered RMT) http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198141735026

    The fake middleman - Sorry, this was my first report. It was very late at night, was logging off when I got the message, RMT for my Kantusa. I knew it was obvious scam and wanted to catch him real quick before I went to sleep. It was very silly of me to not get the fake mm's info as well. Lesson learned.

    (I hope that's what you meant by SR blocks)

    As I am sure you can see, when checking the accused steamrep he has 4 FAKE middleman. Wuvs, Xel, Bacon, etc.. None are the REAL middleman's profiles yet have their name and avatar. One is banned by skial. I hate that people follow for something so obvious but there was a time when I would have, too.

    Thanks for adding. I had completely forgot about this report. Was just getting into SR/RMT at the time I made it.. and these 2 just came along one night.

    I have updated the way I take screenshots/gather evidence since I submitted this.
